Wash Day Blues


Sorting and separating,

Spot checking and degreasing,

Kids fighting dogs yapping!

My heart is breaking…



Washer filled softener added,

Still I'm not appreciated!

Folding, hanging trying to get things situated.

My heart feels humiliated…



Dryer buzzing washer humming,

Still have a lot of house cleaning.

Screaming kids phone ringing,

My head has started aching.



Iron has quit,

I could spit.

Kids throwing a fit,

Makes my head split.



Time to take a break,

Load up kids and off to the lake.

Grab pizza and chocolate cake,

Hope to God that we don't see a snake.



Starting to relax,

Handing out some snacks.

Spotted some kayaks,

Senses tingle at the smell of lilacs.
